From shocking us all with rainbow roots to turning up at a party with stripy orange hair (apparently inspired by Donald Trump), Katy Perry is somewhat of a wild card when it comes to her style. But what would be shocking for us is just another day, another dye for Katy Perry.

During her decade in the spotlight, the American singer has sported hair pretty much every shade possible, although you can often spot her natural brunette roots poking through. We’ve trawled the archives for her best, worst and downright weirdest shades over the years and concluded it’s a miracle she actually has any hair left to dye.

And after showing off a brand new platinum look before the Grammys and Brit Awards, the singer has now gone for the chop.

Blonde ambitions - 2017

It's been FOUR years since Katy released her last album 'Prism', and we'd almost given up hope in hearing anything from her again. But KP surprised us all when it was announced that she'll be performing a brand new single at the GRAMMYs. The singer also seems to have ditched her dark hair for a full head of bleach. We think it's something of a hybrid of an early Madonna and Draco Malfoy's dad, but hey, we're happy she's back.

This hideous golden-orange barnet was surely a case of Katy taking the p*** out of the new POTUS. As a die-hard Clinton supporter, the singer turned up to an art exhibit in January sporting her best mock Donald 'do.

Classic Katy - glossy, glam hair in a shade as dark as her mood on US election night.

The Winehouse - 2016

Very Winehouse, very, VERY Back To Black. We don’t know how many layers of dye there are on her hair but we can practically hear her cuticles gasping ‘No. More.’

In a parallel universe, somebody cast Katy Perry as Sansa Stark. We bet she’d be really good at the whole ‘wreaking revenge’ thing…

Two-tone - 2015

Flashback to the days when ombre was less subtle tonal graduation, more sheep dip dye in a bucket of bleach.

Purple rinse - 2015

Katy goes all granny at the Grammys. At least the root throw-through stops it being entirely Dame Edna.

Mean and green - 2014

Less green with envy, more Grotbags. Add in that hideous top and Katy looks the person everybody avoids at Freshers’ Week.

Sci-fi brunette - 2013

Only on Katy Perry would you consider this quite a boring look. RIP Carrie Fisher, only you could really rock this one.

Deep purple - 2012

This is how every 80s brunette girl imagined she would look after applying Toners & Shaders. She never did. Sigh.

Mauve Madonna - 2012

And then it got brighter (Image: Getty)

Katy channels Madonna in her Like A Prayer era. If Madonna had suffered a DIY dye malfunction during a fall-out with her hair colourist, that is.

Electric blue - 2012

This makes us think of a stripper on her first night, wearing a wig in case any of her dad’s mates come in the bar.

50 shades of grey - 2012

An early adopter of the grey trend? Or just halfway through having the last 20 colours stripped out and dealing with some tonal issues? We like the flapper styling though.

Parting problems - 2012

‘OK, so I’m a couple of days overdue my root touch-up but nobody will notice… right?’ Wrong. Absolutely dreadful.

Somewhere in Equestria, there is a poor, sad My Little Pony crying about the nasty girl who stole its tail.

Dark days - 2011

Katy’s sassy signature colour from her days as Mrs Russell Brand - superdark with just a hint of aubergine. You were too good for him, hun.

Faux strings attached -2010

Is it just us but do these look less like highlights, more like silly string?

Could go up like a firework - 2010

That's quite a bold look (Image: GETTY)

All synthetic blue hair and big boobs at the MTV Awards. Nobody let her near a naked flame, OK?

Mind the gap - 2009

The styles are getting sharper (the gappy fringe still needs work) but Katy’s sticking with her dark locks… for now.

The five card trick - 2008

With ex Travie in Vegas

She’s known for her wacky style and this poker-themed dress is relatively tame for her. This was way back when she was loved up with ex Travie McCoy from Gym Class Heroes

The girl next door - 2004

Baby-faced Katie emerged onto the pop scene back in 2004, and her whole look is very different to what we’re used to seeing now. With extension and dye-free hair, she looks every bit the youngster (19, to be exact).
